C., NOVEMBER 4, 1921 NUMBER 8 TRINITY AND ELON PUiyTO II SCORELESS TIE THE HARDEST FOUGHT GAME OF THE Maroon and Gold Squad Does Good Work In Aerial Depart ment While Trinity Outdistances Them In Punting Department. No Stars. Ib the hardest fought game of the ’ season Elon’s eleveu battled Trinity College's strong team to a 0 to 0 tie on the Trinity gridiron. The game was a beautiful exhibition of re-al football— every known department of the game being brought into play by both teams. There were no outstanding stars, but every man on both teams played con sistent football. Elon did stellar work in the aerial de partment of the game, while Trinity outdistanced them in the punting de partment. Both teams played under a full head of steam, the game being fought hard every inch of the way un til the final whistle ended the scrim mage with the ball on Trinity’s 30-yard line. During the first quarter the Maroon and Gold eleven were kept oo the de fense, and while the Trinity warriors succeeded in advancing the ball slowly at first, the Elon line tightened and lield them within the zone of safety. In this quarter the Trinity players opened their overhead attack, the first two forward passese being completed and netting a substantial gain, but the first two were destined to be all that would succeed, for, though she used the aerial route at intervals through out the remainder of the game, they i either fell incomplete or were inter cepted by a Maroon and Gold uniform tlying into tlie air and gathering in the spiral. The quarter ended with Trinity having things pretty much her own way, the ball being in Elon’s territory througout, tlie quarter ending with the ball on our five-yard line. The opening of the second quarter marked a critical stage in the game, with the ball resting on Elon’s five- yard line. However, the Elon machine tightened and the Trinity bucks and ^ short end runs netted no gain.

Trinity signalled a forward pass, Smith to Huckabee, which met with no better success, and fell incom plete behind the goal line. Elon punt ed out and the battle was transferred to neutral territory again. About the middle of the second quar ter Smith, of Elon, broke through the Trinity line and blocked a punt; a maroon swe-ater covering the pigskin as it spun to the ground. This event marked tlie change in the game, Elon taking the offensive and forcing Trin ity to play defensive ball throughout the remainder of the contest. Durihg the latter part of this period Perry be gun his passing game and kept the Bull Durham City gridiron players baffled, being able to shoot passes over their heads into the waiting arms of the Elon ends and back field almost at will. Elon’s chance to score came in the third quarter, after a succession of forward passes had placed the ball on Trinity’s ten-yard line. Bucks off tackle failing to gain ground, another for ward pass was sent through the air, but Simpson, of Trinity, making a long jump into the air, intercepted and broke up what would have been the play that would have score-d for Elon had it succeeded. Trinity j)unted out and during the remainder of the battle she had to rely solely upon his distance punts to keep the ball away from her goal line-. No furthe-r chance for scoring on either side occurred. The success of Elon’s forward pass ing was a surprise to the Trinity ad herents, who had so successfully been keeping down this kind of play on the other teams. ‘‘Elon upsets all dope in game with Trinity” and “Trinity, for once, fails to produce a real outstanding bright Continued on page 5) NORTH CAROLINA LEADS STATES OF SOUTHERN DIVISION REO CROSS IN PURLIC HEALTH Public Health Nursing Service One of Principal Activities Of Organization During Time Of Peace—Over 4,000 Visits Made In August All the ghosts were walking on Hal lowe’en at Elon. Dozens of sheeted forms with pallid faces and bandaged heads were out of the graves or some where else and walking the floor of the Boys’ Gymnasium. Many weird costumes representing every age of the world were there. The dainty Greek maid with her string of pearls and stars of gold in her hair that flowed loose to the wind, the pretty little Brownie of some far past age, and even little Red Ridinghood was there in all her quaint simplicity. The Hallowe’en party was given un der the auspices of the Religious Activi ties Organization, and was planned by the social committee. The party was informal in every way and began when the first ghosts arrived at about eight o’clock on the evening of October 31. The room was beautifully decorated with cedar and the glow of the lights was softened so as to lend a ghostly aspect to the place. A great procession of sheeted figures filed first into the room and gave a weird dance in silence. Then one by one the brilliantly costumed figures arrived. A lively snake dance and some pop ping the whip lent vivacity to the oc casion. Among those attracting especially much attention was long Slatts Walk er, who was dressed in short pants with white stockings. “Barber” Pearce was imitating a typical colored man, and it was e\^ident that he was famil iar with his subject. Watson Garrison deserved special mention. Pei’haps the greatest success of the evening in the way of making up would belong to W. K. Hood, whose exact imitation of a girl might even have deceived one of the fair sex herself. Professor Humphreys told a ghost- Continued on page 5) Atlanta, Ga.—North Carolina leads the states of the Southern Division of the American Red Cross in the prog ress of its Public Health Nursing Ser vice, one of the principal activities of the peace-time program of the organi zation. During the month of August, no less than 4,877 visits were made by the little band of pioneer nurses, who have made the mountain and factory districts of North Carolina the field for their operations. During this month, these* nurses gave their skill, experience and counsel in 3,189 cases. 1,399 of which svere new. Officials at Division Headquarters of the Red Cross consider the record no thing short of remarkable, when it is considered that this work was accom plished by twenty-four nurses. It means that these households not only received the benefits of expert ministration for their afflicted, but it means that in each household valuable and definite information was given along practical lines as to how the sick should be cared for and how the home should be conducted in the future to reduce sickness to its natural mini mum. But that is not all that this little band is accomplishing. Its members are acting as the link that connects those that need help with those who can give help. A nortli Carolina case, reported to Division Headquarters, furnishes a striking example. An old lady of an isolated country district had suffered for years from a cataract of the eye. Her neighbors were sorry for her. She was almost blind and totally dependent. They did what they could for hc-r, but they were people without means. The old lady was a burden to the little com munity. Now, in a North Carolina city, not AMERICAN REO CROSS AIDING WAR VETERANS Ten Million Dollars Spent During the Past Year For Soldier Relief One hundred and forty-four thous and, nine hundred and ninety-four men who served in the armed forces of the United States during the World War have been aided in their fight to get back to normal life iif the past six months by chapters of the Southern Division of the American Red Cross. During the same period 21,280 disabled soldiers, still in the service, largely men who are recovering in government hospitals, have been helped through the same agency. The-se figures were given out by the Southern Division Head quarters for the first half year of its operations. In a great percentage of these cases, it was this work of the Red Cross, which permitte*d the veteran or the member of his family to receive the monetary compensation that the gov ernment is glad to give. When the peace-time program for the year was outlined by officials of the Red Cross, it was determined to make soldier relief work the paramount idea of the organization. This was decided on for a two-fold reason. The Red Cross is chartered to serve during per- (Continued on page 6) REAR CAT WARRIORS IN BAnLE WITH SANFORD PROF. PAUL S.

Last Tuesday after noon, at 4 o’clock, over 100 young aspirants in the educational world marched proudly to the college chapel and there made their debut into the political and social arena of college life. The purpose of this enthusiastic assembly was the organization of the class of 1925 and the election of class officers. Continued on page 5) Second String Men Win From Sanford—Score 25-6—“Coun try” Gorman Stars It is, and of course should be, wide Ply known that the Varsity warriors of the Elon Pigskin Chasers journeyed to the home of the good old Bull Dur ham last Saturday and there engaged the Methodists in a battle royal, re sulting in a scoreless tie. It was a wonderful game an done that will long be remembered in the* annals of the olil Maroon and Gold. There is, however, another fact, not so widely known, that is even yet more worthy of note than the aforementioned contest at Trinity. This is the fact that Elon has another team, a team mighty in driving power and speedy from center to end, a team magnificent to look upon and one of the few teams in the entire Southeast that has won, thus far in the season, all scheduled games. Such a team is the Elon Bear Cats, captained by the married man and coached by none other than Pro fessor Alonzo L. Hook. On Friday morning last the now re nowned Beat Cats left the Hill bound for Sanford to engage that team in football combat. They arrived about tl irty minutes before the game was Contiiuled on page 5) a great distance away, was a doctor, an eye spe-cialist, who was always glad to treat patients who didn’t have the money to pay him. There was a hos pital there, operated by a church, the same denomination that the old blind lady belonged to. But she didn’t know of the doctor or of the hospital. Nei ther did her neighbors. The Red Cross nurse did, though, when she was called to the old lady’s home. As a result, the old lady went to the doctor and to the hospital, and the cataracts have been removed. Neighbors don’t have to help her any more. She does a lot of help ing on her own hook. Again, there was the owne-r of a big North Carolina cotton mill. He prided himself on the health and welfare of his employees. He was astounded when a Red Cross worker infornied him oue day, “You are starting a tuberculosis factory right here.” 'Then she explained that there had been a request made for underclothing for a member of one of the factory families. The usual investigation re vealed that the widowed mother, at the head of the requesting family, was in the last stages of tuberculosis, and that in the same room with he-r were six small children. They were all ex posed to the ravages of the disease, and they were located in the heart of the- mill district. After the owner of the mill had seen to the screening of the house, the segre gation of the children from their moth er, and her proper treatment by a phy sician, he went to the Re-d Cross worker, “The Red Cross hasn’t only saved that woman and that family,” he said, “it has saved me and my business more than I care to think about.” That is just one feature, too, of the work that is made possible by the an nual Red Cross Roll Call which begins ''''ov'ember 11.
